Armed Forces Service Anodized Miniature Medal

Criteria:

The Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) is an award of the U.S. military and was established on January 11th, 1996. The AFSM is given to personnel who partake in "significant activity" for which no other service or campaign medal is accredited. The term "significant activity" is determined by theater commanders and is usually deemed to be participation in a U.S. military operation considered to hold a high degree of scope, impact, and international significance that the operation warrants the presentation of a permanent service medal. The individual standard for the AFSM specifies that a service member must achieve at least 30 consecutive days in a geographical theater region to qualify for the decoration. Aircrew personnel may attain the award if a total of 30 mission days was performed flying into and out of the given area.

As an authorized Department of Defense exception to policy, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the AFSM can be granted concurrently for the following Operations in Yugoslavia: Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, and Hungary (Operation Joint Guard) 20 December 1996 - 20 June 1998; and Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, Italy, Hungary (Operation Joint Endeavor) 20 November 1995 - 19 December 1998. The AFSM was also given to U.S. Forces in relation to Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Rita relief efforts for 30 consecutive or 60 accumulated days from 27 August 205 - 27 February 2006. Additional awards are the AFSM are denoted by service stars.

Beautiful work!

On time, on target.

"I was very pleased with the quality, speed and accuracy of my order. I thought that with the Marine Corps Ball right around the corner that my order would be delayed or maybe not be delivered prior to the event. Well, you guys proved me wrong and thank you."

The best

"I pretty much solely use USAMM for my decorations and medals. They are super professional, attention to detail is spot on, and you can’t beat the turn around time. Even for an overseas delivery."

Erik H. (5/5)

Bling Bling!

"These medals look fantastic! I’ve seen many throughout my time in the military and I must say these look the best. I was also impressed with the expedient shipping with me being all the way out in Hawaii. Well done!"

Whitfield J. (5/5)

21 years later...

"21 years later, who would have known that I would be asked by two United States Air Force Academy Cadets to give them their First Salute? I quickly pulled out my Mess Dress to find no medals... USAMM helped with the issue, they are perfect and professionally done. Thank you!"

John B. (5/5)

Great racks. Not so great turnaround time for me..

"The racks are great but in my case, it took several weeks for my order to ship. Customer service did a good job of getting the order shipped after I contacted them, but it would be better if known delays were posted on the site just like the company touts the 99% of orders shipping within 24hrs. I ended up spending another $170+ at clothing sales so I could have an updated rack for my event. If you’re in a rush, I suggest confirming shipping times with customer service prior to placing an order."
